Release 6.0.4.0¶

The following features were removed in the 6.0.4 release:

Job Scheduler - As of this release, Delphix has removed the Job Scheduler feature. The introduction of Masking’s REST API several releases ago allowed customers to schedule job executions using their preferred job scheduler. As a result, the integrated scheduler is seldom used.

The following features are deprecated as of 6.0.4 and will be removed in future releases:

FTP, SFTP, and mount upload for XML and Cobol formats - FTP/SFTP/Mount-based format import were the original modes for XML and Cobol files, since then, Delphix has added the ability to upload a format file, which is far simpler to set up. After the introduction of “upload”, we’ve seen a dramatic shift away from the legacy import modes in favor of the simplicity of “upload”.
Row Type Feature - Originally geared for limiting masking to subsets of rows within a column, this feature was seldomly used. Its functionality, if desired, can still be replicated via the Custom SQL feature.
Redundant Settings for ‘Edit Table’ under Rule Sets - Table Suffix, Add Column, Join Table, and List - These settings are redundant and can be replicated with the Custom SQL setting.
‘HAVING’ clause from Masking API - Deprecating due to low use. This feature, if desired, can be replicated with Custom SQL.

Release 6.0.3.0¶

Removed Features¶

In this release, the deprecated XML import/export functionality has been removed. If you used the XML import/export feature in previous releases, you'll find the new Sync Environment feature to be a more robust and complete solution with complete API support in addition to being available in the UI.

Release 6.0.0.0¶

Deprecated Features¶

In this release the following features were deprecated:

Removed Masking Features: Please note that Excel files can still be masked by first converting them to one of Delphix’s supported file types (CSV, etc). Also, XML CLOBs can be masked by extracting their values into a table (example - using extractValue in Oracle).

Native XML CLOB masking: After upgrade, columns masked as XML CLOBs will have the NULL SL algorithm assigned.
DB2 9.1, 9.5, and other 9.x versions of LUW & Z/OS
“Create target” job option: After upgrade jobs using “create target” will be removed.
“Bulk data” job option: After upgrade, jobs using “bulk data” will be turned into non-bulk data jobs.
Native Microsoft Excel Masking: After upgrade, MS Excel connectors, rulesets and jobs will be removed.
